Resident assistants (RAs) combine student and staff identities to supervise undergraduate students in dormitories and residence halls. This textbook is presented by Blimling (Appalachian State U.) as a textbook for resident assistant courses or as a manual for resident assistants where there is no course for credit. He first provides a historical primer on the development of residence halls and the functions of RAs, before discussing issues of student development and peer influence. Confrontation and crisis management are discussed in terms of behavior problems, mediation, suicide intervention, and violence and crime. Common social issues and RA "survival skills" are addressed in separate sections. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
